 Even if I was in a writing mood now, which I’m not, it would be impossible; Gnat is putting on a gymnastics show and I am obliged to watch and comment. And I have to file a column by noon and get us off to school. After that I’ve no idea; I’m written out for a while. Time for pictures, then. Wandering around downtown last Sunday I snapped a few shots. Here’s the Foshay tower behind the International Center.
And here’s something quite old: the original door for the Handicraft Guild Building, an Arts & Crafts association built in 1907.
Now the door leads to an appliance store. The building has historic designation now, which is good, I suppose. This style and size used to dominate and define downtown; now they’re rare. But the building itself isn’t much. The retail tenants are rather low-budget. Maybe I’ll get some more shots of the interior today; meanwhile you can look at these, from the Minnesota Historical Society.
See you tomorrow ~
